I've been very selective about who I talk to in my personal life about restoration because of the fear of such uninformed and hurtful comments. The thing to remember is the people who are part of mutilating a child's genitalia, be it the parents, the doctor, or the mohel, they don't what to admit what they're doing to that child. They don't want to face how circumcision hurts infants and the adults they become and their families. When they're confronted they typically resort to teasing and invalidation that's more akin to schoolyard bullying than a logical argument. I can promise you that you will find more support if you seek out other men who are restoring as well as men and women who support the fight against circumcision. The links at the right of my blog are a good start and there are also many great groups on Facebook devoted to providing support and a forum for restoring men to dialogue with others who understand what they're going through.Jeff in AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008630175548804302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-56184880410619670452014-06-08T12:45:32.420-07:002014-06-08T12:45:32.420-07:00The only part that pisses me off is the new stigma...The only part that pisses me off is the new stigma starting (uncut is soooo much better than cut) so now I'm being punished for something I had no say in....I told my mom I'd my 2 cents didny get so much as an apology then told her I wanted to restor then she made a snide comment and laughed but like I said the ones that comment on how much better uncut is fail to realise the uncut ones have a choice good for them we don't so some of us feel like crap because we may not be able to "please" themAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13737374651868982613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-7511369335160786592014-04-24T13:59:57.984-07:002014-04-24T13:59:57.984-07:00While like everyone else you are entitled to your ...While like everyone else you are entitled to your opinion about what is "ugly" I don't think anyone should have the right to remove a healthy, important part of a child's body to make that baby appear less "ugly" to them. I hope you do let your child decide how his genitalia should look. You certainly wouldn't give your daughter breast augmentation to make her more "beautiful" would you? All babies are born perfect and deserve to be protected from people who want to cut, mutilate, alter, or otherwise molest parts of their sexual anatomy.Jeff in AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008630175548804302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-16470449800818276972014-04-18T01:12:48.609-07:002014-04-18T01:12:48.609-07:00I'm a 20 year old male and I just found out I&...I'm a 20 year old male and I just found out I'm circumcised and by the way I never really knew what that word meant xD. I guess It was done at birth because I don't remember and most if not all who get it done as newborns probably wouldn't remember either but I just saw a uncircumcised penis or "penises" rather and they look like some kind of alien life form, I'm so glad I'm circumcised. I noticed a scar on my penis when I was around 12 I wasn't concerned but I think If I had some loose skin on my penis I would definitely be concerned. You can hardly notice the circumcision scar now, It does clear up It's really not that big of a deal. <br />But if I do have children I might let them decide, but then again It really does look ugly and I would be even more afraid to talk to ladies If I was uncircumcised and I'm already shy as hell. I also read Its cleaner and healthier to be circumcised I think this discovery has made me more confident beyond measures.:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14987429737791371874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-6896227109997126712014-04-18T01:01:12.919-07:002014-04-18T01:01:12.919-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.:)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14987429737791371874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-19295078135490059832011-06-19T17:28:59.958-07:002011-06-19T17:28:59.958-07:00The only thing the Uganda studies have proven is t...The only thing the Uganda studies have proven is that having unprotected sex with prostitutes is a really bad idea, especially in Uganda.kurt_thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976326822025517963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-33778058869807930052011-06-17T08:40:03.333-07:002011-06-17T08:40:03.333-07:00Thank you so much.

I have said to my friends many times before that I don't understand why the first generation circumcised in this country wasn't the last generation circumcised in this country. My experience growing up as a circumcised male has been so negative, I can't understand how you could wish this condition on your worst enemy, let alone your newborn child.kurt_thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11976326822025517963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-52957461949968657932011-06-14T02:40:02.930-07:002011-06-14T02:40:02.930-07:00I can confirm every word by restoringtally, whethe...I can confirm every word by restoringtally, whether the doctor who removed my foreskin knew what would happen to my penis and its performance, I don't know.

Then run the fingertip lightly across the palm of the hand. Feel the difference. <br /><br />Lastly, run a fingertip lightly on the penis. Are there any spots as sensitive as the palm of your hand? If so good. Treasure it. If not, then you identified one of the harms of circumcision. The nerves in the palm are the same type of nerves that are in the foreskin. Those types of nerves are concentrated in the tip of the foreskin (which is always removed during a circumcision) and on the inner foreskin surface. Over time, the penis develops a tough layer to protect the sensitive tissue from rubbing against clothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4299230645606646130.post-4526480355527564982011-06-11T08:22:28.405-07:002011-06-11T08:22:28.405-07:00Speaking as a woman who has had both a circumcised...Speaking as a woman who has had both a circumcised penis and a restored penis.
